The dogs are on the loose

I don't own Inuyasha or Ranma ½

Sorry guys for the late update but my mom had set a part of the kitchen on fire and it took us almost a week of work to fix things new rugs curtains wallpaper etc. Thank you for reviewing and on with the fic.

Dark Inu Fan: He was very much a she, that was the cause why she er... he threw Happosai at or rather through the wall.

Dragon man 180: I wouldn't say that he's evil, if you ask me he probably broke out from some lunatic asylum he's simply crazy.

Chapter: 35 The key has been found

If was around seven in the evening at Furinkan high Kagome was busy with her researches when she came across a writing that dealt with magical wells and one of them dealt with wells that can be used to go into other worlds, but it strangely was also talking about other eras as well. "Hallelujah! I found it!" she screamed her voice full of happiness.

She quickly grabbed the book jumped up with it and ran "I'll ask Akane to bring it by thank you for your help!" she yelled. The librarian nodded and stopped reading the book that Kagome asked her to check knowing that thanks to her help the young demoness can return where she belongs much earlier.

At the same time Inuyasha was strolling across the city enjoying the evening sky when his nose identified a familiar scent. /It's the old ghoul/ screamed his brain and he immediately sped up in the direction the smell was coming from.

Indeed it was Cologne she probably thought that by now the demons moved on and settled somewhere remote and it is safe for her to move back into town, it was a big mistake. Even after four months they were still in the city and now she's going to get the surprise of her life. Inuyasha moved in on his prey making sure that she didn't notice him while murmuring "Don't kill her for now!" over and over.

Then he did it he accidentally stepped onto an empty coke can, when the amazon elder heard the sound she immediately checked her surroundings knowing that she would have already sensed it if there was a human around.

/Damn it looks like they didn't leave town yet! But what will I do now? If the demon sees that I'm trying to shake him than it'll attack for sure./

Cologne didn't have much luck Inuyasha did notice that she was getting suspicious and cursed silently, Cologne slowly backed away of the sound's direction, but she could feel movement around her she turned around but didn't see as Inuyasha got in place for an attack. The old woman started to creep towards the nearest exit out of the city but unconsciously moved closer to Inuyasha. Her gut however was screaming like heel to stay away from that corner so she turned around and decided to use another way.

Of course Inuyasha once again moved to a new position, the old woman was now starting to get really worried she knew that there is something near that wants to catch her. She started to run and in the same second she felt that the one following her was also running and he was keeping up easily with her.

Then it happened at one corner Inuyasha jumped on her after a short struggle she was out cold and the inuyoukai decided to return home with his catch.

At the Tendo dojo Shippo was trying to ease the pain in his cheeks even several hours after his father had his "talk" with him it still continued to hurt and none of his mothers herbs worked then again from a point of view he agreed with his father's decision. "But he could have at least been a little bit gentler!" he mumbled.

"You were the one who said that you'd rather take a couple hits from him than to hear one of Kagome's lectures about responsibility and important things in life." schooled Kioku.

"Yeah but back then I didn't knew that she wanted to forgive me." answered Shippo.

Flashback

It was the morning of the same day when Shippo and crew arrived back from Kyoto he slowly slid the door of the Tendo home to the side well aware that he's in trouble after all if was his duty to keep the children out of harms way while the rest of the adults fight, and he failed badly. Even trough he did his best he knew that his parents won't go easy on him it was still his job and he failed.

"Mom! Dad! I'm here for my beating!" he yelled out not so happily while Asaku ran forward to tackle his mother.

"Come on my love they won't go that bad on you, you're siblings are ok and didn't you tell Izayoi to hide instead of fighting?" reassured Kioku, but she knew that this won't make the fox much calmer.

"Asaku my little darling you're back! Did Shippo take good care you?" asked Kagome with overjoyed voice. The fox gulped a few times before going on."

When Shippo entered the main room he saw his parents who were just having breakfast "I'm back. Now please lets leave out the yelling and just give them to me dad."

Both demons looked at the young fox with confused faces. "Shippo since when do we beat you for nothing?" asked Kagome.

"Mom I hope that I won't offend you but I rather tale a couple of slaps from dad than to hear an hour long speech from you." answered the fox.

"What are you talking of Shippo?" asked Kagome not believing what her adopted son said.

"Mom please I know that I couldn't keep my siblings safe I know that I did a no-no and a big one so please can we just get over it?"

Kagome shrugged her shoulder while turning to Inuyasha with a question written all over her face. /Mate what should we do?./ she asked from him.

"Come on dad just let me have it!" urged the kit.

/If he insists like this./ answered Inuyasha while lifting his hand.

"Mate wait!" shouted Kagome, but it was too late. Shippo received one on his right cheek then the left then another on the right and he almost received a fourth one from the wall.

"Shippo, Inuyasha you could have at least let me finish what I wanted to say."

"Why?" asked the fox.

"I wanted to let you get away with it and your father agreed with me."

"WHAT!" yelled Shippo not believing what his mother just said. "You wanted to let me get away with it?" he yelled.

Kagome nodded to this, the young fox couldn't believe it. His parents wanted to let him off the hook/Crap Crap Crap Crap... CRAP!./ Heimmediately startedsearching for an ideal wall to hit his head against but he was out of luck there wasn't one that would have withstood him for long.

End of Flashback

The male fox leaned onto the table and laid his face on the top, but as soon as his face came into contact with the surface he jumped up. "Youch! Damn it still smarts!" he complained.

"I'm back!" called out Kagome in a happy tone "And I found something!" she added. The pain in Shippo's cheeks immediately vanished and he raced to his mother.

"What did you find?" he asked.

"This!" answered Kagome holding up a book victoriously. "We'll be soon heading home!"

Not even a minute passed and Inuyasha arrived holding a female human under his shoulder "Mate! Get down here I found that ghoul who got us here!" Once again it didn't take more than a second for the dogs and two foxes assemble.

"Did you really find her dad." asked Izayoi.

"What does this look like." answered Inuyasha holding up an unconscious Cologne.

"Shippo, Mate I think tonight we'll skip sleeping and interrogate her instead." Kagome started to walk upstairs to get her catch so they can start as soon as Cologne wakes up. "Oh and before I forget she said turning around. "Get Ranma I think he'll have a few word with her."

Next Morning

It has to be said that Cologne was singing like a canary bird she told Kagome everything. Till the point when she learned that Ranma was not going to be her son-in-law. Of course the boy knew how to make her talk again and after witnessing a Happosai bash and receiving a threat that was promising the destruction of all amazons if she or he granddaughter should try anything she saw things from a whole new point.

Kagome awoke to a sunny morning letting out a huge yawn while flexing her claws as nice it was to be alone with Inuyasha for some time but she still preferred having all of her family close. She slowly pulled herself loose from the pile of canines and slipped out of the room to start her usual morning routine, which meant heading for the bathroom.

Not even five minutes passed and she and like usually Izayoi was up. "Mom what's for breakfast?" she yelled. Kagome chuckled knowing that right now she's probably in the middle of dodging the pillows that Shippo's throwing at her,this was confirmed when she heard Inuyasha growl.

"Don't know go downstairs and ask Kasumi!" Kagome yelled back,she leaned against the side of the shower letting the water pour down on her bodyand waited. /3...2...1/ two loud whacks could be heard throughout the house as Inuyasha rewarded both kids with a lump on the head. /They'll never learn./ mumbled Kagome to herself. Deciding that she's clean enough for the day she stepped out of the shower and saw that her underclothing was missing.

"Happosai!" she hollered waking anyone who was trying to sleep in the house. "Just wait till I get my hands on you!"

However by that time the lecherous old man was already out of site enjoying the first catch of the day looks like for him it doesn't care what kind of lingerie it was as long it was close to the wearer's skin and the one using it was attractive.

Kagome wrapped herself into her nightgown and raced back to the guestroom to get something to wear under her skirt. Not much later she raced out onto the street and tried to get a whiff out of Happosai's scent, she was successful and raced after the old man.

However after several miles she lost him she couldn't believe how far the perverted martial artist ventured on his harvesting trip she guessed it was because the women who were living closer decided to by cheaper underwear since he always stole them, and now he was forced to go on longer trips to get better quality.

Kagome shrugged her shoulders knowing that he'll sooner or later return to the Tendo's and then she'll be waiting for him with a large backup of females in other words with an angry mob. She was about to leave when one of the shops caught her attention. She couldn't really remember but she could bet that that she saw that grocer store before.

She decided to look around a little better and she got more and more suspicious, then when she moved around one of the corners she bumped into the stairs of a shrine. It was the shrine where she used to live. She gulped several times and slowly started to climb the stairs she knew that she shouldn't be here, but somehow she had to see her oldhome.

By the time she reached the top of the stairs she was having a hard time forcing her tears back. Then she heard silent cries from the direction of the god tree. When she turned to the source of the noise she thought thatsomething is wrong with her eyesthere was a little girl about eight or so crying under the great tree. She looked just like Kagome did when she was so young except for the brown hair.

But still she was shocked beyond belief. "Mother!" she whispered barely noticeable even for her own ear. She walked over to the young girl and sat down next to her. "Can I help you?" she asked.

The human girl stiffened when she heard Kagome's voice and turned to her. The girl looked up at her face carefully checking her features then turned away after a few seconds. "What's your name?" asked Kagome well knowing the answer. But the girl didn't say anything.

The youkai shook her head and sniffed into the air to find out what's wrong and mentally kicked herself for not noticing this in the first place. "Having some boy trouble are we?" she asked.

The human girl turned back to Kagome and nodded. "Then talk about it it'll be easier for you!"

"How could that help?" asked the girl.

"Things were a bit hard for me when I was younger. Especially when it came to men. So I know a thing or two."

"But you didn't have problems like I do!"

"You really think so little one?" asked Kagome.

"Hey what are you talking about you don't look older than twenty!" snapped the human.

"To tell you the truth I'm well above thirty." answered Kagome. "Now do you want to hear my story?" when Kagome saw her not yetmother nod she continued.

"When I was younger around fifteen or so I had several admirers but there was only one boy who I really loved. This boy, you can't imagine how good he looked and how many time he made me cry. He was the biggest jerk you can imagine with the biggest ego and mouth not mentionig how overprotective he was.We regularly fought about the stupidest things, and there was his ex always causing trouble even my friends were saying that I'm crazy to keep up with him and evencalled him two-timer. Then something bad happened to me, and things completely changed he did everything to make me happy. In the end it came out that he was just too scared to admit it to me till that point that he really cared. A real coward of a man when it come to feelings don't you think?"

Kagome received a nod as an answer. "What happened after that?" came the question.

"He's now my husband and sometimes we still fight over the stupidest things." answered the youkai not being able to keep back a chuckle.

"You mean that it doesn't matter if I often fight with my boyfriend."

"Where's the problem with that? It keeps you on your toes, and prevents your relationship from becoming dull. I've been married for what...twenty years or so? And I love him like onthe day I married him." answered Kagome with a smile on her face.

"Guess you're right. Thank you!" said the little girl and bowed in respect before Kagome. Then she noticed once of the youkai's ears that was slightly visible through Kagome's hair. Of course she thought that it's somekind junk or something that got stuck there by accident. "Um there is something in your hair may I?"

Before Kagome had any chance to protest her mother to be grabbed her ear and pulled it into the open, the girl was surprised to say the least but she didn't scream. "Are those real?" she asked not believing what she just saw.

"Don't be afraid I won't do anything to you."

"Huh why are you saying that?" asked the little girl.

"You mean you're not afraid?" asked Kagome. The girl shook her head. "Not even a little? I mean I am a dog demon."

"But you're so nice, and daddy told me that there are a few demons who don't hurt human's. You must be one of them. Umm... can I feel?"

"To quote my husband what's with my ears and the female population." remarked Kagome leaning forward letting her mother massage her flappers.

As an answer she received loud giggles "They are so soft and fluffy!"

"Just don't start petting my husband, me and my pups are the only ones who can get too close to him without risking a beating."

"Is he mean?" asked the girl a little afraid.

"No! It's just his way showing other demons that he's strong and can protect his pack."

"Pack?"

"U... sorry I meant family."

The little girl laughed "You're funny!"

"Just don't tell anyone!" whispered Kagome in aconfidential tone.

Several hours passed before Kagome finally decided to leave forgetting all about Happosai, once again the old freak had more luck than brain but hey probably that's how he always survived in tight situationstrough his life.Kagome really wanted to spend d more time with her mother, or rather the one who will be one day her mother, but she knew that this would cause trouble so she decided that this short time is enough for her..
